Infectious Disease Research Paper

As you all know, most microorganisms we discuss in class our very beneficial for our needs as well as the needs of the Earth. Unfortunately, some can also be pathogenic in nature and usually make the headlines of newspapers and television shows. For this project, each of you will be investigating an infectious disease. Your task is to write a research paper (4-5 double-spaced pages) and create a short PowerPoint presentation (5-10 minutes). In the paper, you must include:

• a historical perspective of the disease (origins?)

• the organism that causes the disease (be specific in taxonomy and morphology)

• the signs and symptoms

• how the disease is spread

• how a person suffering with the disease is treated

• how the disease can be prevented

• new laboratory research investigations on the disease (primary source journal articles)

• any other interesting pieces of information

Below are some of the infectious diseases you can choose from:

Anthrax

Avian Flu

Bubonic Plague

Cat-Scratch Fever

Chlamydia

Dengue Fever

Ebola

Encephalitis

Gangrene

Genital Warts

Giardiasis

Hand-Foot-Mouth

Herpes

Leprosy

Lymes Disease

Mad Cow Disease

Malaria

Marburg Virus

Meningitis

Monkeypox

Mononucleosis

Necrotizing Fasciitis

Pneumonia

Ringworm

Rubella

SARS

Scarlet Fever

Shingles

Smallpox

Syphilis

Toxoplasmosis

West Nile Virus

Whooping Cough

Yellow Fever

You must cite all sources that you use in your paper. The sources can be from websites, books, and magazines, but you also want to include at least two primary sources (journal articles). We will be learning how to find these in the library. Plagiarism will not be accepted and will immediately result in a zero grade as well as disciplinary action.

Mr. Ira Sterne--Social Studies-----Nazi Medical Experiments

INFORMATION CENTER RESARCH QUESTIONS

Many Nazi doctors and scientists justified their “experiments” as advancing their nation and the cause of science.

QUESTION 1: In light of historical evidence, and codes of accepted practices how do these justifications and experiments conflict with our concept of social and moral righteousness? Check the “fallout” from the Milgram experiments on obedience.

QUESTION 2:  Is it really ethical to use the data-that is- the results of these experiments? Can their use be justified? If what happened is now history, is it okay to look at this data? (“what’s done is done”)

You should use the list of modern experimental guidelines that is on the reverse of the Milgram handout.

Some keywords with which to search are:

Hippocratic Oath
Declaration of Helsinki
Nuremberg Code

Research Project
This quarter you will work on a research project. The first part is an annotated works cited list. Please follow the steps and adhere to the deadlines. You will be completing most (hopefully all) of the work in class.
Here is some helpful vocabulary.
Primary source – A work written by the writer you have chosen to study.
Secondary source – A work written by someone else about the writer you have chosen or his/her work.
Annotate – to furnish with critical commentary or explanatory notes.
Annotated Works Cited List
a) Choose and American Poet. Read 4-6 poems by him/her. What theme or idea seems to be present in many of the works? Research sources that support this.
Read each article/essay/book. Take notes. Prepare a works cited list in which you evaluate 4 of your sources. You will probably find more than four sources. Please list them on your works cited list, but you do not need to annotate every source you find. You must annotate one example of each of the four types listed above. As always, your works cited list will include primary sources as well. At least three of these should be annotated.
Step 1: Read poems by 3 American poets. Choose one about whom you will do your project. Hand in a list of the poets, their poems that you read, the poet you have chosen to research further and an explanation.
Step 2: Read 4-6 poems by your poet. These poems are your primary sources. Read your primary sources. Annotate them. (Write responses, notes on them.) Decide on an idea, theme or thread that runs through these pieces.
Step 3: Find secondary sources (books, articles, videos, cds, electronic articles) about your poet/poems. Take notes on these sources.
Step 5: Write your paper using parenthetical references.
